The Closers is yet another Harry Bosch novel in the canon of M. Connelly. While I normally really enjoy the Bosch novels, this one didn't really stick with me. Seriously. I finished it a little over a week ago and am having serious trouble trying to remember much about the book. So, this review may be a little off kilter.
Harry Bosch had spent three years away from police work. In The Closers, he returns to work with his old partner Kiz Rider in the unsolved crimes unit. There is little pressure within the unsolved crimes unit and that doesn't really seem to fit with Bosch and his personality. Anyway, the two snag an extremely old case and begin to work the case. Turns out, there are some big wigs in the police force that were involved over twenty years ago on this case.
So, Bosch and Rider have to navigate some shitty police politics while still trying to solve the case. Without giving much away, shit hits the fan and some big time officials get their asses in hot water. Which, for Connelly, is fairly par for the course.
In The Closers, Michael Connelly didn't really break much new ground. In fact, he may have written his most forgettable novel. Which is a bummer because Connelly is a fairly talented writer and Harry Bosch is a haunted and interesting character.
This book...well, I can't tell you if it was good or bad. It just was...there to be read.
